It's possible to have two pc's with a TB! installation using the same message bases and accounts. If you go to Options//Preferences and go to the System section. The first option is the location for the Mail Directory. On your pc in the bedroom, you can make the TB! installation use the same Mail directory on the server. You have to have the necessary OS permissions setup so that the PC in the bedroom does have access to the necessary share drive which the Server mail directory resides. You can then close down TB! on the client PC. Open regedit.exe and navigate to HKCU/Software/Rit/The Bat! Look for the entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\rit\The Bat!\\Working Directory The Working directory is the same as the Mail Directory. Change it to the path to the mail directory on the server. Exit Regedit.exe and restart TB!. It should now use the mail directory on the server. If you simply change the Mail directory via the TB! interface, TB! will attempt to move it's current mail directory to the new location you specify which isn't what you want.

The only way to do this is to synchronise the installation or use an external application to synchronise the Mail directories for the server and the laptop. - -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator | OS: XP Pro (SP1) _ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: My Public Keys - http://www.ac-martin.com/pgpkeys.html iD8DBQE+bxblV8nrYCsHF+IRAjs/AKChp28H5kqZ4F7P9ZJNI0DZ3PXuYgCg/muu G8RjF+d0JbFHtYmJmGr7y08= =F0Dt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
